Yes, but the media is a huge factor in perception of science by - well, even educated people, not to mention the majority. And that's why the damaqge done by media to the society in general is very large: it undoes what colleges and universities try to do (at least the better ones, anyway).
And the disgusting part is, again, the believe in the absolute of "right" and "wrong". The article is certainly right, the numbers are certainly somewhat wrong - let's get over it and get back to life.
